Portofino
The Portofino Paint Inlay draws inspiration from the intricate beauty of “Azulejos”—polished, glazed ceramic tiles that have adorned Portuguese architecture since the 13th century. Portofino is gushing with gorgeous cobalt blue and white patterns, serving as a testament to its rich artistic history.
Portofino features detailed vignettes, elegant borders, and classical typography that will infuse each project with a touch of European heritage. Whether you embellish a vintage bread box, or a set of ceramic coasters, or refurbish a cutting board with playful lemons, the pretty details welcome both playful and sophisticated projects.
Don't forget to save those inlay sheets for additional uses!😍

Why You’ll Love It
The coordinated azulejos, classical vases, faux tile, floral bouquets, lemons, and mediterranean create an authentic painted finish rather than the surface look of a decal. Each sheet can often produce a softer second impression, and sometimes a third, depending on the paint, technique, and remaining pigment.
More Info
Portofino IOD Paint Inlay 12x16 Pad™ is an Iron Orchid Designs Paint Inlay made with proprietary artist-quality paint. It is not a decal or printed film: the design is embedded into wet paint and remains movable with water until the finished project is sealed.
Size
12 × 16 inches each.
How to Use
Apply a generous, even coat of compatible mineral-based chalk-type paint to a prepared surface, working in sections no larger than the inlay sheet. While the paint is wet, place the inlay design-side down with the printed grid facing up. Lightly mist the back with water and pat it into contact using a smooth damp sponge, soft folded cloth, or small IOD Silicone Paint Blade; do not drag the sheet. Allow it to dry to the touch. Mist evenly again, wait about 30 seconds, then peel the paper away slowly at a low angle. If it resists, mist again and wait before continuing.
How to Care For
Let the finished design dry completely—24 hours is the safest guideline—then seal it because the pigment remains water-reactive until protected. Use a compatible water-based sealer, artist’s fixative followed by a compatible finish, or wax; test products together before use. To reuse a sheet, lay it flat pigment-side up until completely dry, place protective tissue between saved sheets, and store it flat in the original packaging at room temperature away from moisture.
